We have been cheated for so long and we have contributed to the plight that has been inflicted on us . We have glorified our enemies and turned them into gods and idols, we have turned them into examples and models to all . The more cruel they proved to be the more we surrendered to them and acknowledged their authority and superiority and this is what made them even more determined to transgress human and natural laws and commit what they commit .
We have followed them blindly and made them lead us on the way of knowledge and science and progress and success. We believed that they were the promising future and the bright tomorrows . We felt that there was no alternative but follow their steps and walk in their trails. We knew probably that we could never catch up with them and that we will lag behind endlessly, nevertheless we continued on the same pace and playing the same tune , each step forward made us more dispossessed and vulnerable .
Gradually we were stripped of our culture and language and tradition while thinking that we were treading the path of progress . We made the enemies our reference, we overlooked their horrors and crimes , we thought these were the price we have to pay for the betterment of humanity in general , and we were ready to pay the price as high as it proved to be . Palestine was taken which was a big thing in itself and then our resources were exploited and taken , our language our heritage were declared useless , our traditions outdated , our society inadequate, our thinking reactionary , our heritage empty .
This is what our enemy made of us : a complete failure , leaving us in want of everything , demonizing us thus, making us convinced that our culture and civilization were defective and in great need to be straightened and redeemed . This process of demonizing touched all people : the Natives , the Africans , the Arabs , the Muslims . The western monster demonized all keeping all the good attributes to himself and acting in the name of God and religion and welfare of humanity while helpless we watched this usurping of the morals and principles in which we had faith.
Without this demonizing process the indigenous t could not be stripped of everything including his own identity. We rejected what could not be admitted or praised by the superior west, we became thus removed from our cultural and social and historical identity . We became nobody and therefore it became easy to fill us with anything including the big lie of the civilized west .
This lasted until something unusual happened . It happened in Iran. The great achievement of the Islamic Revolution of Iran was to recover the lost treasure , to give back to us our identity and superiority and reality and above all our dignity . Once this war of dignity won , once the cultural and spiritual superiority of the indigenous over the predators asserted and confirmed and experienced, then all the other wars could be easily won.

Extraordinary thinking and writing. Merci.

In 2007, as the vaunted Annapolis conference was convening, Jennifer Mizrahi of The Israel Project convened a panel that included David Wurmser. Wurmser asserted that it was most appropriate that Iran (and Hamas) should be excluded from the Annapolis conference. Iran’s crime, Wurmser explained, was giving the Islamic world confidence in itself. Khomeini (and those who still believe in the core of his message) pointed out to Muslims in the region that they were being humiliated, and they should not accept it. Iran would not accept being humiliated by the West. This defiance and incitement to confidence was starting to take hold among Muslims in other states in the region, Wurmser feared.

Phil Weiss, like a number of liberal anti zionist zionists, is enamored of ‘the Black struggle’ about which he fantasizes that Jews are Martin Luther King. Read about this phenomenon here http://friendfeed.com/mondoweiss-on-friendfeed/509a6ce2/jim-crow-was-complicated-too
The status of Black people and of Native Americans in the United States today should be an object lesson in exactly what zionists have in mind for the long term for Palestinian Arabs.
I hold an extremely unpopular train of thought: As I weigh the facts & chronology, I maintain that the German people could see the lay of the land under Weimar Germany, and it was antithetical to their cultural traditions. Germans saw themselves in the process of losing their “cultural and social and historical identity” and they reclaimed it.
If the time line is studied with just a modicum of care, it becomes obvious that Germans tolerated Jewish supremicism for over 50 years; when Germans cried “stab in the back,” it was because they had been “stabbed in the back” by those whom they had supported then been suborned by. A point came when enough was enough, and a man reckless enough to challenge the oppressor coincidentally emerged. For another seven years Germans attempted to resolve the oppressive situation non-violently, but Louis Brandeis had already made up his mind: He demanded that Jews leave Germany, and Delenda est Germania.

the case of Adolf Hitler is an example of successful demonisation on a massive scale. it can only be compared to a continuation of war propaganda for more than six decades. quite an expensive project. he has been co-opted as the Dark Messiah of Holocaustianity.
alongside this demonisation comes a misrepresentation of his thought – indeed he is often portrayed as a raving lunatic, obviously incapable of thought.
however, as one forms a more balanced picture, the contrast with the created stereotype has considerable educational value

Daniel summarizes the matter with his customary eloquence.
the ‘Western’ imperium has been 500 years in the making. it is a remarkable phenomenon, deserving of the attention of all anthropologists whether human or extra-terrestrial.
its enthusiastic advocates present this ‘Western’ way as a technological miracle making possible the vision of constructing a paradise on earth.
a less partisan view may still delight in what we have found through scientific investigation of Nature –whether at the magnificence of the grand scheme of cosmic creation and the intricacy in its details or at the economy of the means applied to its construction. at the same time a less partisan view must allow that the technological paradise is more than anything a spiritual wasteland. its iconography par excellence is the sleek superficiality of the glossy mag ads, the hygienized impersonality of the airport lounge, office block or hotel bedroom. time has lost its sacred circularity and been linearized, has become a commodity and drained of its essence. ubiquitous bangs, whirrs, roars, clicks, whistles and shrieks express the restless, jangling neurosis peculiar to deracinates. our geometry is inferior to that of ancient Greece – ‘modern’ urban life, even down to the detail of the pavement slabs, or the little screens we gaze at for so many hours each day, is heavily rectangular.

and our high-minded expressions of universal ethics and civilised values sit uneasily with a history defined by the brutalities of conquest and internecine struggle.
